Title: Secure verification of firmware
Inventor: SPANGLER RANDALL
IPC: G06F21/57
Filed: 2019-06-10
Abstract: A computing system is described for securely verifying system firmware and recovery firmware to ensure system integrity without relying on a manufacture's proprietary verification process, hardware-specific keys, or inherent write-protection features of system memory. The computing system relies on a security processor that maintains firmware management parameters which define a process for verifying firmware and recovery firmware independent of an integrated circuit manufacturer's Mask ROM (read-only-memory) verification process. The security processor ensures that the firmware or recovery firmware is signed appropriately and consistent with previously executed versions, or if different, produces verification results (e.g., generated hash values) that are consistent with expected results embedded in the firmware, at compile time. In this way, the computing system improves usability, customization, and user control over the firmware and recovery firmware that is executed within the computing system.

Title: Intravaginal devices for enhanced natural insemination and associated systems and methods
Inventor: JACOBY ROBERT
IPC: A61B17/425
Filed: 2019-07-11
Abstract: Intravaginal devices for presenting ejaculate produced during sexual intercourse to the cervix while inhibiting exposure to the intravaginal environment and associated methods are disclosed herein. An intravaginal device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a tubular body having a first concave surface that defines a first depression at which to collect ejaculate produced during sexual intercourse, a second concave surface that defines a second depression at which to present the ejaculate to the external os, and a flow channel defined by an inner surface of the tubular body extending between the first and second depressions. Because ejaculate deposited into the first depression travels to the second depression through the flow channel, exposure to the inhospitable conditions of the intravaginal environment is limited. Moreover, by guiding the ejaculate through the external os, the intravaginal device may serve to increase intrauterine sperm count.
